83In that regard, it must be observed, as a preliminary point, that the Council has failed to demonstrate how all the decisions of the investigating judge of the Pechersk District Court, referred to in paragraph 80 above, which are acts of a purely procedural nature, are evidence that the applicant’s rights of defence and right to effective judicial protection in Cases 113 and 521 have been observed. As stated in paragraphs 65 to 67 above, in the present case, the Council was required, before deciding to maintain the restrictive measures at issue, to verify whether the decision of the Ukrainian judicial authorities to initiate and conduct criminal investigation proceedings in relation to offences constituting the misappropriation of public funds or assets and abuse of office by a public office-holder had been taken in accordance with those rights of the applicant (judgment of 25 June 2020, Klymenko v Conseil, T‑295/19, EU:T:2020:287, paragraph 78).
